Speakers

I was speaking with customer service a few days ago and they mentioned that new Sonos speakers are typically revealed toward the end of the calendar year. Is there a particular event where they show them? The design aesthetic of the Sonos line is what I might call mid-century modern or utilitarian. The Sonos One seems to improve things a bit over the Play:One. I seem to remember that they came out with a 'jazz' verison of the Play:One. Maybe there were a few other special editions as well. Does anyone know of any plans to redesign the visual aesthetic or possibly add more speakers to the line? Would love to see a Play:Seven added to the lineup.

The bass is intermittently cutting out on my S5, is there a fix or update?

Is it possible to report stolen devices to Sonos so to block use or detect where the devices are used if connected in the future?

I have a Connect Amp feeding into a switch box that selects between two pairs of speakers. I also have a pair of Bose Soundlink Revolve+ Bluetooth speakers for portable outdoor use. I'd like to have the option of playing the same music through the Bose speakers as through the Sonos. Could any of you folks recommend the best way to achieve this, if it can be done? I am wondering about parallel wiring out of the Connect Amp a Bluetooth transmitter that has speaker level inputs, if such a thing exists. Or perhaps inserting some sort of adaptor between the Connect Amp and transmitter to convert speaker level to whatever the transmitter accepts? My concern is with impedance, which I don't fully understand. The speakers connected to the switch box are a pair of 6 ohm nominal impedance Mission Cyrus 780s and a pair of standard ceiling speakers (I assume 8 ohms). I think Sonos say that speakers connected in parallel must be 8 ohms or else the Connect Amp could be damaged. I'm unsur

Hi, I am thinking of getting a Sonos 1 so I can multi room around the house. At the moment I have a surround sound (Sony) linked to a chromecast. When Sonos support google home, will I be able to link two Sonos speakers (which will be in other rooms) and the chromecast together via google home or does chromecast only link to devices with Chromecast built in? Really like the Sonos 1 but I don't want to buy 3 so need to find a way to link to my system I already have in the living room to other speakers around the house.

I would really like the new Play 5 Gen2 in white, but I have an issue with the front being black. Is there any possibility now or in the future of having a Play 5 Gen2 in the same color scheme as the white Play 3? The black front is not as discrete as I would like it to be.

I've had a Sonos system now for 7 years and in that time I've seen the full benefit of a wifi based music service. For the principle purpose of playing music around a house, bluetooth speakers just doesnt compare. However I am still confused why sonos see the question of 'wifi or bluetooth' as one in which we actually have to decide and go with one of the two options. Bluetooth performs a competely different function and has a completely different set of benefits to wifi. It allows one for instance to be watching iplayer on a laptop and instantly have the benefit of an extra speaker, it allows one to effortlessly create tv surround sound with any speaker you chose (not just a ruddy playbar). Alot of the topics within this forum question how can sonos speakers perform these relevatively basic functions. What answers do we get? Various software work arounds or some tedious way of connecting a device in through a connect amp - which lets be honest defeats the point of a wireless sp

Latest update has completely broken our setup and we are VERY ANGRY. The latest update has completely shafted our perfectly working setup around the flat. We have 2 play 5's in a stereo pair in the front room, 2 play 1s in the bedroom, a play 1 in the bathroom, a new soundbar in the family room with 2 1s in surround config, a play 3 on the kitchen worktop and 2 play 3s in the dining room. WE HAVE SPENT A FORTUNE ON THIS SETUP AND JUST BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO HAWK SOME NEW USELESS ALEXA SPYWARE CRAP IN YOUR NEW SPEAKERS, OUR SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. Half of our speakers no longer work and the ones that do occasionally work drop out constantly. If this doesn't get sorted out very quickly, I will consider legal action and judging by the number of other complaints I have read, I won't be alone. I will never buy any more Sonos products again, and I will actively dissuade anybody I know from buying them. Good lord what a shambles. Sort this out please. And also, while you're

Hi New user and looking to add a Playbar, BUT....reading LOTS of unhappiness about "DTS" and compatibility. people talk about Playbar not playing their Blueray/DVDs. Can this be correct? I don't have Blue ray discs, just 100s of ordinary DVDs. Will play bar play the sound on those? Apologies if this is daft question but lots of people seem to be pointing to huge problem thanks for advice Philip

I currently have a Sonos Connect operating through my PC with line in (aux) which then send the signal to my Play 5. My question is, if I plug the aux line in directly into my play 5, can i then connect to other speakers without the Sonos Connect? Will the play 5 act as a connect as it is directly connected to the PC through aux (line in)? I am hoping to buy two new Play 1's but before I do I was wondering if I can sell my Sonos Connect to be able to put the money towards these.

I have ordered a new tv stand and was wondering if it would be ok to put the playbar in the middle section of this stand.Has anyone else done this and does it effect the sound. Thanks.

Many of us have about all the different Sonos speakers in different configurations. Which combination have you found your favorite for different situations. Recently - I finally setup a full 5.1 system permanently when I moved around speakers in some rooms. In my sunroom I now have playbar, sub, and 2 Play:1s. I'm actually amazed how much I like it even for regular music. It has definitely become my favorite room for listening to music. My least used room is probably my Living Room. Here I have a Pioneer Elite receiver and some very good B&W speakers and B&W sub (leftovers from when I had a wired surround system with all B&W that I split up). This theoretically should be my best sounding room but I in fact rarely play music on it. Convenience so much outways what could be perceived quality in this case. I have a Connect:Amp in my bar that actually is one of my most used setups. I keep an old iPhone 6 plus in here on a cradle as a dedicated controller. Connected

Can someone please tell me how big are the three woofers and three tweeters in the Sonos Play:5 second generation. With size I mean like 4" inch or 5" inch ?

I purchased my Sonos Play 5 speaker many years ago (2012?). When I bought it I was informed that i must also purchase a Bridge, which I did. Can I remove the Bridge from the set up?

Hi, I am about to buy sonos play:5. I want to use the speaker with my Windows computer which i understand is compatible. Is it possible to use the speaker while i produce music and such without playing from music streaming services? Basically use it as a speaker for my computer. Sumetri

I have a popping sound sometimes on low level coming from the bass? . Can someone please help.

Hello ! After some research, I'm a little confused. I own a LG TV (32LB5600) which has no Audio jack output and a Play5. But which has the following outputs : - Component IN / AV IN (L/Mono and Audio R) or - Optical Digital Audio Out I tried to us a RCA Y-cable and to plug it to the Component IN / AV IN (L/Mono and Audio R) and it didn't worked at all :/ Is anybody have a solution ? Should I use my "Optical Digital Audio Out" in order to connect my TV to my Play5 ? Thank you 🙂

I recently set up Trueplay on a couple of Play:1s that I own. When testing out the post-Trueplay calibration sound I discovered bass distortion once I dialed up the speaker to about half-way on the volume bar (my EQ had bass and treble right in the middle and Loudness was turned off). At first I thought it was an issue with my speaker, but turning off Trueplay removed the distortion issue. The best way to describe the distortion is that it is a deep popping bass sound like occurs intermittently (maybe once every couple of seconds, but that depends on how bass heavy the song is). Anyone else having this issue with a Trueplay-tuned Play:1?

I have set up several Sonos alarms to play automatically music at certain times of the day. I have been using this for a while now and it works great until recently. Certain alarms instead of playing the music selection specified in the settings will play the Sonos alarm. This happen on alarms where the duration is set to "no limit" and snooze alerts is selected. I am not sure why but it's annoying as heck!

I have a setup with Playbase, Sub and surround speakers. Playbase works fine but Sub and surround lose the sound often and randomly. Same problem with direct input from TV and wi-fi streaming, however problem occur More frequent on wi-fi. I have tried "everything" and is about to give up. Can someone help?

Morning all, like a lot of us I'm going through that exercise of upgrading all our lights from the oddball collection to 100% LED and it caused me to wander what my various Sonos boxes consume on standby and in operation. Does anyone have stats that show (to a layman) what my various CA's, Play 5's, Sub Woofers etc consume .... whilst passive and when hammering it out? Very interested to have an idea about that......maybe Sonos has the data in a table on site somewhere? Many thanks in advance

As Sonos was promoting buying stereo pair of Sonos Ones to compete with Apple Homepod (which seems to be failing so far - at least until apple fixes Airplay2) .....first article I saw where they actually compared the stereo Sonos Ones with a Homepod (and actually confirmed they did to Trueplay tuning on the Sonos). https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-homepod-vs-sonos-one-sound-quality-face-off/ Really there only negative to the Sonos One appears to be not as strong in the low end.

Hi there, I recently ordered a new Sonos One and an Echo Dot from Amazon, with the intention of testing out both Sonos and Alexa and deciding whether or not to incorporate these services into a home theater upgrade. I want to listen to my audible audiobooks via this speaker. read from google and from a topic here a month ago that this is not possible. Any updates? I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and had intended to do two of these Ones in kitchen and bedroom and a 5.1 combination for the media and gaming - so I could listen to music and books in all three rooms. Any update on Audible? I have an echo dot, tablets of all manner, iOS devices and a MacBook as well as an original Bell telephone and a guide to generating smoke signals. Can I get audible to play through Sonos One or any Sonos system?

I am talking my Father into adding Sonos to his home, a connect to his hifi and a couple of Play5s. I have my own 4 zone system and wanted to lend him a Play5 to try for a few weeks. How can I remove the 5 from my list of components while he has it on loan?

Like a lot of people I would like to use two Play 5's to my TV for real stereo separation. But I don't want to use the RCA port for many reasons. It seems like I should be able to use a Sonos Connect to the TV and the Play 5's to the Connect? How about the Play 5's and the sub? Or even those three and two rears for 5.1?
